The last time I was here it was an abandoned block of toilets and you'd never know it coming here. They've done a great job with the in and out decor of the place; it even smells nice, and the little touches really make it a nice place; the wide, unrestricted windows provide a great view of the sea, and there's a lovely mural on the far wall. We went 9:30 AM on Sunday so service was swift and nice, and the café was quiet. I ordered a decaf oat cappuccino and my mother had a flat white. It's nice that they didn't charge extra for the oat milk and the price of £3.20 wasn't too bad. We each had a slice of baked goods; I had the peanut butter stack and mum had a cherry bakewell slice, which was also gluten free. The peanut butter stack was delicious and rich. My only gripe was that the serving size was small. The bakewell slice didn't taste much of cherry, and both were quite cold and hard to cut. The toilets were really nice; very clean and there's a tampon bin, hand gel and on the whole it's a pleasant place to be. The disabled toilet is spacious and much the same On the whole it's a lovely coffee shop and I thoroughly recommend a visit!

5 stars just isn't enough. Today we celebrated my daughters 21st birthday and I chose the pavilion to host, now let me tell you just how incredible and luxurious this place is. I was able to set up balloons, dress the table, set up presents and cards, along with her cake hidden away, kept in safe hands prior to our arrival. We were greeted with kindness and a very warm welcome too, all staff said happy birthday and bent over backwards to make sure every single moment was perfection. We ordered cold drinks, savoury snacks and the most indulgent cake that we could easily have eaten more of being so amazing. The gentle jazz music, the staggeringly incredible view of the bay, the wonderful pavilion and all there staff truly made her 21st birthday a day she will never forget ❤️. Thank you.

I love this place! Visited 3 times during my stay last week, twice for coffee and cake, the other time for cocktails. Amazing transformation from an old toilet block to a luxurious cafe/cocktail bar. There are photos of the work carried out, along with a book of old postcards of the original pavilion. Huge windows provide sea views, the art deco interior has plush chairs, a lovely mural of the sea front and the toilets are even worth a visit! The staff are welcoming and friendly and their coffee and cakes are delicious, as are their cocktails! Next time I am back in Dovercourt, I’ll be heading straight there. A welcome addition to the town and seafront.

Attended for my friends birthday. After booking as a surprise weeks prior. It was very disappointing to turn up to find that it was a music mic night and no food was being served. We were not made aware in advance and on a busy Saturday evening everywhere else in harwich was fully booked. The staff did offer in the end after seeing our disappointment bar snacks, but this was not sufficient for a meal. Prosecco was ok, view was nice.

Been a few times now and the pavilion never fails to impress - amazing staff, amazing food and fantastic views what more could you ask for. Absolutely my favourite place in Essex to stop for a coffee, breakfast or an amazing lunch. Still yet to try evenings but I have no doubt that’s just as amazing. Everything is so reasonably priced and the atmosphere is just amazing 1000/10 if you’re in the area don’t hesitate just go!
